Stick to it (words of Jesus)

Divorce is a simply, common, easy, no thought, thing in today's society; Jesus tells us you don't have to deal with your spouse cheating on you, but besides that there is NO reason for divorce ( Matt 5:31-32 ) God bless!

Watch out! (words of Jesus)

Lust of the eyes is one of the three category's of sin; looking at a woman lustfully is adultery in God's book; this message follows in the guidelines of pornography also; so fix your eyes on things above ( Matt 5:27-28 ) God bless!

Not forgiving can hinder (words of Jesus)

Not forgiving can hinder your relationship with God; if you claim to love God, but hate people, that doesn't fly with God; forgive or settle your problem with whoever BEFORE you come to the alter for things; God will not work with not forgiving in your heart ( Matt 5:23-24 ) God bless!

Salt not candy (words of Jesus)

Being salt to the world makes people thirsty, and salt adds flavor to things. Being candy tells people what they want to here instead of the truth; be salt not candy ( Matt 5:13 ) God bless!

It's worth it (words of Jesus)

God promises us we will be rewarded if we endure through trials, and tribulations; so have peace during tough times, and know God will deliver you through or out of problems ( Matt 5:5 ) God bless!

Follow, not lead (words of Jesus)

Jesus tells us here to FOLLOW Him, and go help bring men who don't know about Jesus, or edify others about who Jesus is; key word is follow; to many times we try to lead, and make decisions, and actions on our own. Following Jesus means finding out what God's word says about your situation, and praying BEFORE you do things ( Matt 4:19 ) God bless!

Talk back to satan (words of Jesus)

You have to be able to control your appetite, or the lust of the flesh before you can yield to anything else, notice this is the FIRST way the devil tempted Jesus ( Matt 4:4 ) God bless!

Plant growth (parable)

Jesus compares our spiritual growth to the growth of a plant; key point is GROWTH, YOU are expected to grow in the kingdom of God ( Mk 4:26-29 ) God bless!

Prove faithful ( parable )

Prove to be trusted with the small things; money, job, bills, gifts; God gives us resources according to our abilities; so do right, and receive more ( Matt 25: 14-30 ) God bless!

Stay prepared! (parable)

God gives us signs of the end times, so true faithful followers can know what is to come; but NO ONE knows the exact time or day, so stay prepared for your day of death, or the return of Jesus ( Matt 25:1-13 ) God bless!

Accept invitation (parable)

God, and His mercy invites people many times to accept the free gift of salvation; His will is no one perish; so accept the invitation of God ( Matt 22:1-14 ) God bless!

Don't bite hand that feed you (parable)

If you're not trust worthy with the things doing God's will, and not bearing good fruit, then God will place others in your place that are ( Matt 21:33-44 ) God bless!

Do; don't just say (parable)

It is better for you to say you're not going to do something, and actually do it, then to say you're going to do something, and don't do it; DO the will of God ( Matt 21: 28-32 ) God bless

Last first; first last (parable)

This is my favorite parable in the Bible. It talks about how people will make it into Heaven, if they have to make it at the last minute, or their last breath; ex: on their death bed, if they just gave they life to Christ right BEFORE they died. Look at the thief on the cross, perfect example here; so being baptised in water, the Holy Spirit, all matter, but the ONLY 100% requirement to be SAVED is by grace ( Eph 2:8 ), the water doesn't save you, grace does; there are 3 baptisms 1.salvation ( Rom 10:9-10: Jn 3:16  ) 2. Holy Spirit ( Lk 3:16 ) 3. water ( Matt 28:19 ), so the benefit to LIVING for God NOW because this is true is we get rewards when we get to Heaven ( Matt 5: 12 ; 1 Cor 3: 13-15 ) so don't let temporary pleasure keep you from a eternal reward ( Matt 20: 1-16 ) God bless!

Will you leave? (parable)

Jesus broke the rich man down, to prove no one can keep the law, we're always lacking something, that's why we need Jesus who fulfilled the law. Rich people can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven if God brings them in, and they put their pride, and trust in their money aside, and trust the only way into the Kingdom of Heaven through God's only begotten Son Jesus Christ ( Matt 19: 16 - 26 ) God bless!

Having mercy (parable)

God forgives us all our sins; we should do the same for others; we can't pick and choose who, and what we want to forgive; it's not a option in the Kingdom of God; mercy is something you give to people who don't DESERVE it ( Matt 18: 23-35 ) God bless!

Give everything for one (parable)

Once you find God; nothing else matters. I remember my conversion, I had a job, bad phone numbers, bad friends, bad music, bad movies; I left ALL of those things, yes even my job, and God provided me a new on, but I left all those things, and just ran to Jesus for 6 months; I just read my word, prayed, and got rid of ALL the bad things listed, because I found the Kingdom of God ( Matt 13:45,46 ) God bless!

No comparison (parable)

Consider everything you have a LOSE compared to the Kingdom of Heaven; anything you own means nothing to a person coming to know Jesus ( Matt 13:44 ) God bless!

Keep or grow out (parable)

All the good fish caught will be kept; all the bad fish will be thrown into hell; make a choice starting today people; the net will be full one day ( Matt 13:47-50 ) God bless!

Start small end big (parable)

People who come into the Kingdom of God, are usually broke down from this world, from dealing with the lies, and malice of this world; then we grow and mature in the Kingdom of God, and become fruitful, and effective  ( Matt 13:31-32 ) God bless!

Stay aware

Watch, and pray; don't get so caught up in the circumstances of life that you get caught not being ready for when the Son of Man returns; it's hard to pray when you're worried ( Lk 21:34 ) God bless!

God knows

God knows all yours thoughts, problems, and situations; He knows every name of every star; every persons last, and first name; and EVERY hair on your head are NUMBERED ( Matt 10:30 ) God bless!

Good fruit

Every tree that produces bad fruit; sex trafficking, recruiting into gangs, selling drugs, hatred, being unforgiving, showing favoritism toward race, gender, education etc; will be cut off, and God has the ax ( Matt 3:10 ) God bless!

Let God plant

If God didn't say it, don't do it; if God didn't plant it, don't pick fruit from it; let the Holy Spirit lead, not man; pray and go to God's word BEFORE you make a move ( Matt 15:13 ) God bless!

Weeded out

Jesus said He will send His angels at the end of time to weed out things that not just SIN, but things that OFFEND, that is things that CAUSES sin; people take your own inventory, meaning don't judge others, work on yourself, but watch what causes sin ( Matt 13:41 ) God bless!

Choice or feeling

Are you living by choice or by feeling; don't go off your feeling; make a choice of who you will serve this day ( Josh 24:15 ) God bless!

Plan for today

Everyday; every situation; every persons life in doing the will of God is ordained, and planned, and has a purpose; so wake up this day, and know God has a plan for YOU ( Neh 8:10 ) God bless!
